A poster with an illustration of a rabbit and the message: Economic Boycott Don’t buy stuff Friday, February 28 We have power No Amazon, Walmart, Target, fast-food, gas OK small business Use cash
No Shopping On Friday Tomorrow, Friday, Feb. 28, is a national day of boycott. We're participating, and we hope you will, too. A boycott sends a powerful message. En masse, we the people, have power. Our spending power (or lack there of) talks. Here's to hoping lawmakers take note. Tomorrow's boycott includes using credit cards, so we're asking you to shop in our online store today and then again on Saturday.
Appreciate this email from @bittersouth.bsky.social.

Also surprised he’s never shown up in my google alerts before….
Thanks for the insight! For real. I’ve been baffled by the interest.
The theory that Trump is nominating people who will be intensely loyal to him because they have been cast aside by everyone else feels devastatingly likely.
NEWS
President-elect Trump makes it official, he intends to nominate Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education.
Trump is expected to have his cabinet announced by end of week.
To give you a perspective how quickly he is moving (not a good thing).
Obama announced Clinton as Sec of State on 12/1/08
Rex Tillerson was announced as Sec of State on 12/13/16
Rubio was announced as Sec of State on 11/13/24.
Not sure which witty ‘friend’ signed me up for what list - but my new followers on this app (if they aren’t all bots) are going to be very disappointed by my Florida centric political content.
Biden should legalize marijuana.
